romney's chances went up. you can see the president's chances improving again and romney's declining after the second debate in the middle of october. will obama's win last night help him further in the polls? his campaign marathon help get the bump? nate silver today did underscore how important even a small post debate bump could be in deciding the election. nate says, if mr. obama's head to head polling were two points higher, he could be a considerably clearer favorite. a one-point bounce would bring him to 80%. so it's time to wait and watch the polls. but there is another measure we can look at right now. something that's not predictive. it's not about the future. it's something that is concrete about what is already done. what is already locked in. and we have got that empirical measure of what's going on in this race here next, exclusively. >>> in reporting on efforts to make it hard tore vote and harder to register to vote over the course of this past year or two, we found we're seeing a lot of confus
